De-stress and Decompress
The winding, tree-lined, two-and-a-half mile drive between the highway and the front entrance of the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa is nicknamed “The Decompression Chamber,” since, by the time you reach the end, the real world seems far, far away. Located between Austin and the charming town of Bastrop in Texas, the 405-acre resort is set along the banks of the Lower Colorado River, in land that’s part of the McKinney Roughs Nature Park.
Thanks to a partnership with the reserve, hotel guests have access to 18 miles of trails, and areas where they can bird watch, zip-line, golf and kayak or raft down the river. On the resort grounds itself, you’ll also find a couple dozen horses (available for trail rides) and plenty of scenic spots to relax—including under a massive, historic tree named Maude. (Only six trees were felled in the building of the entire resort, with local materials used throughout, such as the 40,000 pecan shells that make up the countertop of one of the bars.)
The 18,000-square-foot Spa Django takes inspiration from the Romany word django (meaning “I awake”), and the works of legendary gypsy-jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt. In the 18 treatment rooms, guests can choose their own music from a diverse playlist, then settle in for the Texas Two-Step (a pear-apple foot scrub and hot stone reflexology massage); organic Eminence facials; and Herbal Garden Salt Glow. After relaxing in the lounge, head out to the Love Lock fence, where guests can celebrate the love in their lives—and support a local domestic violence charity—by hanging a lock around this one-of-kind spa feature. lostpines.hyatt.com
